We invite you to join us for the first International House Museum Days dedicated to House Museums of Memory and Personages.
Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum will be open on both 5th and 6th April from 10am till 4pm (last entry) with guided tours running at 10am and 11am on both days with a special focus on the last owner and resident of the house, Olof Gollcher. Items from Olof Gollcher’s collection, together with photographs and documents from his personal archives will illustrate his life, varied interests and contributions to Malta and the local community. Ticket price for this activity is 12.50 euro per person.
A special version of the tour will also be offered to children (6 +) on both days at 2pm followed by a drawing activity where they will be invited to draw their favourite artefact or room. Parents and guardians are welcome to join for this tour. Ticket price for this activity is 6 euro per person.
Throughout the weekend, museum visitors will be encouraged to make a 'Postcard from Palazzo Falson'. Using a variety of recycled materials, visitors may decorate a blank postcard to create a memory of their visit and share it on social media using our hashtag #palazzofalson. They may also keep the postcard as a token and send it off to family and friends!
Pre-booking is essential. Kindly secure your booking and payment by sending us an email on bookings@palazzofalson.com by not later than Friday 4th April at 12:00pm.
For further details visit our website: www.palazzofalson.com or our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram.
Kindly note that children under the age of 6 are not permitted into the museum.
